I , , .Scrlbncr's . : When wo picture the sur- < .rpuntlinps of the traveler upon railways during tlio first ten or fifteen years of their existence , wo find his journey was not ono to bo envied. Ho was jammed into n narrow scat with a stilT back , the deck of the car was low and Hat , and ventilation in winter impossible. The . i , springs of the car wore hard , the jolt ing intolerable , the windows rattled ' like these of the modern omnibus , and conversation was n luvury that could bo indulged in only by these of recognized , superiority of lung po.ver. The brakes wore clumsy and of little service. The ends of the flat bar rails were cut diago nally , BO that when laid down they would lap and form a smoother joint. Occasionally they became sprung ; the spikes would not hold and the end of the rail with its sharp point rose high enough for the wheel to run under it , " ' rip it loose and send the pointed end through the door of the car. This was culled a "snake's head , " and the un lucky being sitting over it was likely to Ijt j bo impaled against the roof. % Insuring Kmploycs. f ; Now York Times : The Reading Rall- ty road company proposes to organize n re lief drmutual insurance association for the benefit of its 15,000 employes. A cir cular giving the details of the scheme and signed by President Corbin was eont out to the employes of the company yesterday. Any employe who has been in the borvico of the company for six -'months , upon passing a satisfactory .medical examination , may become u member. The contributions arc to be 1 deducted monthly in advance from the i earnings of members , and the railroad 1 ' company , besides assuming all the expenses - ponses of clerk hire , oflice room , and stationery , will contribute to the fund ' -10 per cent of the amount given from " , time to time by the employes until the ; total sum shall reach 81,000,000 , after which the company's contributions will ij bo 6 per cent. In the event of a deficit ! , in the fund prior to the total contribution - , " tion of the 10 per cent guarantee the ( icompany will cover said deficit to the if .full amount of the proposed contribu- ? ftion , to-wit , 3100,000. $ : < The employes will bo divided into j' ' five classes , according to the amount of ? ' wages earned. The first class , whoso t wages do not exceed $10 a mouth , will If make a monthly contribution of 7o * cents , entitling a member to CO cents I daily for fifty-two weeks , in case of dis- ° i ability by accident in the company's K service , or to 40 cents for ilfty-two W weeks in case of sickness incurred during - * ing service , and to S2-50 at death. In i this proportion the scale ascends to these receiving wages of moro than S100 per month , who will pay $8.75 and receive daily benefits of $2.50 or $2 end n death benefit of $1,100. ! The division superintendents have been instructed to give full information to all employes , and as soon as an organization can bo effected the contributors will elect ofll- eers. eers.The plan of the relief fund is very much like that in operation among em ployes of the Pennsylvania. This or- jff' ? pmitzation was effected in February , I860 , and it now numbers 18.714 mem bers. Last year the employes con- f' tributod $341,191 , and the' company ! " $58G4H. The sum of 8260,548 was paid for benefits. The scheme was first put in practice by the Baltimore & Ohio railroad , but that company has entirely severed its connection with the insur ance association , which now rests upon its own footing by a special act of the Maryland legislature. Kullronds nnil the Snlibatli. Rochester Post-Express : Henry Monott , general passenger agent of the Central , writes in regard to the Sunday excursions as follows : "Tho executive officers of the Now York Central some time ago decided to discourage and check the growing ten dency toward increased special business on Sundays , and Instructions wore is- Bucd to that effect. No Sunday cxcur- pions not previously advertised have since boon or will bo run. A great number of recent applications have boon declined , and the parties inter ested encouraged to select other days. The excursion fares between Rochester pnd Ontario Beach are in effect daily , and so for as the Now York Central Is concerned , no special inducements are offered the people of Rochester to visit Ontario Beach on Sundays beyond the necessary provision for the increased travel on these days. The Now York Central is pursuing a conservative policy in dealing with this difficult problem ; and the extremists who demand a total suspension of rail way service on Sundays would probably , il their views were adopted , be among the first to ask that an exception ba made upon ono pretext or another. A very largo percentage of the population of Rochester desires facilities for reach ing Ontario Beach on Sundays , and many good citizens drive tholr families to the beach , who certainly cannot ob ject , upon any rational eround , to their less favored neighbors taking the cheaper mode of conveyance to reach the same destination , presumably for the purpose of escaping the heat , of the city , to enjoy a , brief change of sur roundings , secure .tho undoubted ben efit of purer atmosphere , and to return refreshed by a few hours at the luke front. Why There nro Ticket Scalpers. New York Sun : Presidential years are good years for ticket scalpers. Every convention and big mass meeting makes moat for them. At the Chicago convention the round-trip rate from Pittsburg was cut to $ o , from St. Paul to (3 , and from Omaha to $1. The rates did not stay so low long , and they wore not made by every road , but each ticket issued , even at the lowest rates , had a week or so to run , and during that tlmo there was : v margin of profit to the ticket scalper of SO per cent or so on xthe original cost. The prices , then , are 'rv good example of what opportunities J werc offered at tha St. Louis conven- 'tion , and on a smaller Eeule at every Btuto convention and state mitis mcct- Ju.it now the exposition ut Cincinnati has bcon furnishing the ticket scalpers opportunities. Frequently the oxour- f $ on rates are lower than the regular lai-e ono way. The regular faro from Pittsburg to Chicago was twice the &r > - round trip rate made during the , Chicago cage convention , and ? 2 is only a frac tion of the regular faro from Chicago to St. Paul , and from Omaha to Chicago singly costs thrco times as much as a convention excursion ticket. The re- fcuh was that every sensible traveler , though ho wao going only ono way , i. bought an excursion ticket nnd sold the return coupon for what ho could got t , , * " fef tag better off oven if he cov nothing for the return , coupon than ' Ifhe had paid the regular faro one way. , A train of thlrtv or forty scalpers fol lows the conventions uround the coun try. They wore at St. Louis with the democrats , at Chicago with the repub licans , at the Cincinnati exposition , at the Now Orleans carnival , at the St. Paul Ice palace , every where that n crowd goes and excursion tickets are sold. At Chicago they did moro busi ness than the regular railroad compa nies , at St. Louis most ns much. They would have done moro business nt St. Louis only the competition there was not so great and the rates wcro not below low as at Chicago. A man who can cheese his tlmo for traveling within a limit of a few weeks , nnd to whom the speediest route is not necessary , can save half the cost of his railroad faro by watching the news papers for notices of excursions to con ventions , expositions and carnivals and such things. Lot him go to a ticket scalper and explain whore he wants to go , being sure to impress on the Scalper that ho is in no hurry to go , for hurry costs money , and the man who has to go at once pays the highest price. The scalper will give him a ticket cither to the place ho wants to go or to the con vention place nearest with an order on a brother scalper for a ticket the rest of the way , or ho may got an excursion ticKct with a drafton a brother scalper to bo paid on presentation of the return coupon of the ticket. If the passenger Sees not like to have so many dealings with the scalpers he can buy a regular excursion ticket at the railroad offices and lake his chances of selling the rc- lurn coupon , Iho price ho gels for it de pending on his shrewdness as a seller and the kind of scalper he happens lo cncounler. The excursion rates give some rail road that are always hankering after a cut in rates , the opportunity they are after. There are half a d-j/.en ways of going out of Now York to Chicago. Other things being equal , passengers would naturally take Iho lines lliat have Iho besl cars and make Iho best timo. To get any tralfle at all the other roads must oiler lower rates. They are in a pool , and they can not make a lower rale at their regular of fices than the pool allows. To make a low rate and got passengers they must do it with seeming concealment. Everybody knows , of course , that it is done , but a pretense of not doing it mubt be kept up. Hero is where the natural usefulness of the ticket scalper comes in. % The railroad does its part by paying commissions for the bale of tickets , the commission sometimes amounting to two-thirds of the faro. Any scalper can get this reduction by bonding a boy with a note and the price of alickct , less commission , to the pas senger office of the company. How much of this commission he keeps for himself depends on his shrewdness and the shrewdness of his customer. With judicious care ho can bo induced to lake within 32 or S5 ! of Iho price he pays the railroad company. Without caution ho may make as much profit from the passengers as the railroad gets for the passenger's transportation. A Ijocomotive's Vngnrles. Now York Times : The Erie railroad yard in Jersey City was Iho scene of a singular accident yesterday afternoon. Engineer James Powlan started engine No. 81 out of the round house soon after 8 o'clock on the way to the track on which the train ho was to take out awaited him. When opposite Hender son street his locomolivp was struck in the roar by the locomotive of the Mont- clair train , which was moving out of the yard. The collision reversed his engine and started it up the inward- bound track. The train known as the Susquohnnna cxprcss.was running into the stalion on that track. When Pow lan taw that a collision between Ihc locomotive of that train and his own was inevitable ho leaped to the ground and fell beneath the wheels of Iho Montclair train. Ho was dead when the Montclair train was brought to a standstill. The fireman , Blauvelt , followed the lead of his engineer , and the abandoned locomotive sped up the track until it ran into the locomotive of Iho Susquo- h ruin a express. The contact reversed the machinery again , and the engine ran over the switches again until a third contact with something sent her speed ily up the road , on the outward bound track. Ono of the engineers opened the throttle of hislocomotivcand started on another track after her. Ho came abreast with her at Coles street , and his firemen , leaping to the cab of the run away engine , brought her to a stand still. The outerworks of all three loco motives wore torn off by the collisions. A passenger named Moore , on the Susquehanna - quehanna express , who is said to have jumped from the train when ho saw the danger , was seriously cut and bruised. He was taken to his homo on Coles street , Jersey City. At the Erie rail road yard all information was refused last evening as to the details of this sin gular accident. So far as could bo learned , however , no other passengers were injured. A Canadian Railroad Scheme. The Boston Transcript of September 13 prints the following dispatch from Toronto : It is understood that Mr. II. J. Boomer , manager of the Pontiac & Pacific Junction railway , at present in Paris , has succeeded in organizing a company of capitalists there , with a capital of over $800,000 , to complete the Pontiao & Pacific line from Pembroke to SaulrSto. Marie , to lease orpurchaso from the Canadian Pacific railway the North Shore road from Ottawa to'Que- bec , and to obtain from the government running powers over the Inter-Colonial railway to St. John. The Canadian Pa cific railway for Forao time past has found the North Shore road , especially that portion from Ottawa to Montreal , a burden , and it is learned on the best authority that the company is willing to got rid of the whole line from Ottawa to Quoboc. The scheme is a largo ono , and the now company in cludes lion. J. A. Chapman , secretary of state , and prominent men in Canada. The object of this system of lines Is to move western grain from Minneapolis and the Cana dian northwest to the Canadian winter ports for shipment. The argument used with the government by the company in securing running powers ever the Inter-Colonial railway is that the now system of roads would be of great bene fit to the country in case the American government carries out its course of re taliation , ns the amalgamated lines would make a direct line to St. John and Halifax. The Pontiao & Pacific Junction road is now completed to with in three miles of Pembroke , and will bo completed to that place before win ter sets in. Kntlroiui litilldliicr. Now York Commercial Advertiser : Herman Clark , of the firm of O'Brien & Clark , who has bcon a railroad con tractor for many years , says that there has been less railroad building done this year than for several years past Ho accounts for this state of affairs by saying that the railroads have in ore- ceding years run wild in this branch of their business , and it seemed at ono time that If a railroad company did not I build a certain amount of toad every year , it was not In a prosperous condl- tion.

Last year building was at its height. The work was carried on too fast , and now it has assumed its proper level. There are a great many miles of railroad in this country , but let me tell you that rail road building : in America is only in its infancy. There are thousands of miles of road to bo built yot. The reason that there is a reaction now is that wo went a little top fast for four or live years. There is a better fooling among contractors , and that is a good sign that things are picking up. A great many persons ask mo if I do not think railroad building has bcon permanently over done. I certainly think that it has not been. I believe that wo shall see years when over 20,000 miles of road will bo built. Look at the map of the United States and see the thousands of miles of territory yet remaining to bo traversed. Thou the eastern roads are building mall roads all the time , and in nine ascs put of ten they pay. I am talking if legitimate railroad building , and not , \all street speculation. There is a great future in railroads in this coun ty. " Slow Improvement In Palace Cars. Globe Democrat : "It is enough to make ono disgusted with the palai-o car monopoly , " ' said an old traveler , ' 'to see 'low ' slow tho.v are in making improve- uents. Why , the cars are hardly as jood as they wore ten years ago on most jf the roads , and this is the moro narked becaubc the regular passenger ars have been wonderfully improved. The bleeping cars on the majority of 'ho lines are lighted with kerosene ln- tead of gas or electricity , the porters lave more than they can attend to , es pecially on those miserable bulTot cars , .ml the accommodations for ladies arc rorso than over. Every car &hpuld : iavo a female servant as" well as the orter , and there should bo a division 'or ' ladies traveling alono. The scats ro not as comfortable as they should bo .ind the cars do not ride as smoothly as ' .hoy ought to. The American public is ong-sufl'ering or it would compel the ? ullmans , Wagners and Woodruffs to ervo it better. " RELIGIOUS.
